IDENTIFIER urn:nasa:pds:pvo-oetp:data-bowshock::1.1
NAME Pioneer Venus Orbiter (PVO) Electron Temperature Probe (OETP) Bow Shock Data Collection
TYPE Data
DESCRIPTION This data collection contains the orbit-by-orbit times and locations of the bow shock crossings, which are characterized by distinct changes in Ne. Multiple shock crossing are listed if they are sufficiently separated to be resolved accurately. (Bow shock crossings will be evident in the High Resolution Ne File when they occurred within 30 minutes of periapsis)
